Do you run a motorsport website ? Do you offer services or goods to motorsport competitors? Or motorsport fans? Do you want your advertising to be shown to thousands of people around the world? If so, then advertising on Ten-Tenths may be for you.

Our advertising banners are positioned in relevant parts of the pages where user are sure to view.  For example, in the thread views our banners appear after the last thread and before the reply options, meaning your banner will be see by just about everyone who views the thread.

In addition, many websites carry Ten-Tenths as their discussion forum thus encouraging more people to view your advertising.

Tell me more about Ten-Tenths?

Ten-Tenths Motorsport started in 1998 with the aim of providing the most comprehensive set of motorsport discussion forums on the World Wide Web and we are proud of the way in which we achieved that goal. Despite a number of sites attempting to imitate our set-up, not one has yet bettered us. We are widely acknowledged 'in the industry' as having the best forum set-up and a hard to beat atmosphere; even by those who try to copy is.

Tell me more about the forum software...

We are using the very latest version of vBulletin from Jelsoft which is written in PHP (widely acknowledged to be faster than Perl CGI scripts) and powered by a fast MySQL database system. Additional benefits of this forum package are a private messaging system, a polling system, a calendar on which you can view a huge list of motorsport events as well as post your own private events, and much, much more. Take a look at our forums to discover more.

How are the banners served?

Unlike some simple banner rotations we have a highly advanced MySQL based delivery system.  Banners are stored and served from the same server as the Ten-Tenths content to ensure maximum reliability and availability.  Campaigns and individual banners can be set for timed rotation, number of clicks or number of displays, for an additional fee we also offer "GeoTargeting" to ensure that your banner is shown to visitors in your target country, countries or continents.  We also offer automatic e-mail reports on how many displays and clicks your banner is generating, you can decide how often you wish these e-mails.  We also give advertisers access to our on-line reporting system where they can check the effectiveness of their banners at any time.

What does it cost?

We can tailor your campaign to suit your budget, we can provide campaigns based on the number of clicks, the number of displays, or a time range.  Please contact grant.macdonald@royalridge.biz for further details.

Statistics and reach.

Or, how many people will actually SEE my advert?
During September 2006 we displayed roughly 1.3M content pages in 170,000 visits from 37,000 unique visitors. (That's content pages, some websites will say they get a million hits but "forget" to tell you that they count access to images as hits, so their million hits may only be 50,000 content page displays by the time they subtract images and scripts etc.)
Of these 37,000 visitors 82% were repeat visitors and 18% were first timers. 45% came from the UK, 23% from Australia and 10% from the US.
Displaying these pages generated 3M database queries per day and results in 6Gb of traffic over the internet.
1200 new threads were created and 24184 new posts made.

The bottom line is that for advertisers taking a standard priority advert we generated roughly 4,000 displays per day.
